Standing Spinal Rotation is a dynamic warm-up that activates your core, mobilizes your thoracic spine, and wakes up your shoulders, all while encouraging fluid movement. By alternating arm positions and adjusting tempo, this exercise helps prep your body for more intense activity or simply refreshes your posture after long periods of sitting.

Standing Spinal Rotation Instructions

  • Stand tall with your feet between hip and shoulder-width apart with knees slightly bent
  • Rotate to one side touching the opposite shoulder with the arm in front and the opposite shoulder blade with the arm in back
  • Rotate to the opposite side switching the front and back arm
  • Adjust tempo, arm position, and tension in your body to modify the feeling of this dynamic movement
